Silas Lee
Position
Silas is a robust advocate who approaches each of his cases with diligence and tenacity. He has represented clients charged with serious fraud, sexual offences and violence in the Crown, Magistrates’ and Youth Courts.
In recent months, he has secured acquittals for clients charged with a number of violent and acquisitive offences. He has successfully opposed police applications, such as for Criminal Behaviour Orders against suspected gang members.
Not afraid of advancing complex legal argument, Silas successfully submitted, in a recent case, that youth robbery proceedings ought to be declared null and void due to procedural and jurisdictional issues.
Silas is also instructed by the Infected Blood Inquiry and has a particular expertise in the UK Blood Transfusion Service and its role in the ‘tainted blood’ scandal of the 1980s and 1990s.
